• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Took the plunge. Not sure I should have though. I know our broadband speed like many rural spots in England is hopelessly slow but this is looking pretty bad. Anyone else find this or have any suggestions?
 
Don't try to download the full archive at once.
It's 12 GB and it's going to take forever. Also my download usually hangs after 6 GB (and 7 hours....).
Instead, click on the "+Individual Components" line to get the download links to smaller packages (max 2 GB, much easier to download).
 
Hmmmm... in you shoes I'd grab a USB stick and head to a friend's placd with better service. 21 days? I can get it in about 21 minutes and my service provider is far from the best.
